Tonight's game at Titan Stadium... er, Keller Field in Oshkosh will be essentially for the WIAC title. A win by the Warhawks (9-0 overall) would mean the undisputed WIAC Championship - and another undefeated season for Whitewater in D3 Football. The Titans (7-2 overall) would get a tie for the WIAC crown should they beat UWW. It is likely that the Titans are playing for a spot in the D3 Football Tournament, though no other WIAC team has managed to make the Top 25 of the D3football.com polls since season's start.

I read something about how they did it to stop players from forming a union and upsetting the whole "amateurism" thing. A bunch of players in Michigan were banding together to protest unsafe working & playing conditions and would have needed to be classified as employees - which there is legal precedence for - which would upset the applecart of profiting off of the players' names and likenesses. This came out less than 5 days after the Big 10 released their revised schedule, and caused the Big 10 to completely change course.

I'll see if I can find the article. I think it was in the LA Times.

Yeah ive heard both of those things and i believe it. Im not under any delusion that the B1G school presidents actually care about student athletes health - i mean i think all of them have at least partially in-house classes. They wanted to get out ahead of what they assumed was going to be every conference following suit and it bit them in the ass.

...it would really be hilarious if they cancelled when other teams didnt, they see other teams getting revenue, they cast an emergency vote to start up in October, and then all the other conferences shut down anyway because of too many positive tests:rolleyes:

That's interesting. I wonder how they are going to handle the West-East balance. Neither team would logically go to the East conference. Could mean a reorganization. Put Texas & Oklahoma into the West and move two teams from there to the East. Geographically, it would make the most sense to move Auburn and Alabama. They are further east than any of the other schools. It kinda would make sense as well. Getting two strong teams in and move two strong teams out. The East would be strengthened as well. They've always been the weaker of the two.

Alternatives are the Mississippis or LSU and Arkansas. LSU is interesting, but they are very hot & cold. They win a championship, then lose their star qb and immediately go 5-5.


#154

The SEC Network (obviously not the same people who make decisions) suggested pod formats. The conference would be in groups of 4 that play each other every year, then a rotation with the other teams. It’s probably the best way to preserve traditional rivalries while still making sure everyone plays everyone enough.

UW-Whitewater 37, UW-Stout 6. Whitewater (1-0, 4-0 overall) is 22-3 over their last 25 games, and haven't lost at Perkins Stadium since December of 2016.


#183

...Okay, I had to look to see when the last time this happened.

The last time that UWW won a game, scoring 65 points, at home, against a conference opponent, was... uh, well... never?

Whitewater did beat UW-Stout 67-0 back in October of 1974, but that was up in Menomonie, not at Whitewater. (Yes, Stout is one of the two UW System schools not named for its location, though technically Parkside is where UWP is located.)

In short - since UW-Whitewater has been playing football as UWW, they have NEVER scored this many points against a WIAC opponent at home.

Ever.

Until today. 65-21 over UW-Platteville.

This... might get ugly for the rest of the season.


#184

Things you learn about your alma mater when you do some digging:

* That win over Platteville was the 85th time Whitewater has defeated their fellow Normal School/State Teacher's College/State College/State University/UW school since they first met in 1895.
* In that first game, which was the first game between two Normal School teams, Whitewater won 10-0.
* UWW has a winning record versus all WIAC opponents in football - including a 26-3-2 record against Superior, who hasn't played football in the conference since 1991.

Thanks to the foot of Matt Maldonado, the Warhawks take the win at River Falls, 34-28. After trailing 21-14 at the half, Whitewater came back to take a 28-21 lead late in the third. RF tied it with less than 6 to go, and Maldonado kicked a 28 yard FG to put the 'Hawks up by three. On the ensuing kickoff, returner Kaleb Blaha fumbled and the Hawks recovered. Maldonado then kicked a 31 yarder to put UWW up by six. On the first play after the kickoff, Kole Hinrichsen was intercepted by Kyle Koelblinger to seal the win. Three victory formations later and UWW has its 734th victory in school history.

Twelve.

Twelve undefeated seasons since beginning play in the WSUC/WIAC.

A 56-10 win over Stevens Point sends UWW to the D3 playoffs yet again, and likely as a top seed.

We find out our opponent Sunday - and I'm betting it's at Perkins Stadium.

---

EDIT: I just did a little look-back - Whitewater has had 15 undefeated seasons (without a loss) since beginning conference play in 1913 (as part of the State Normal College Conference, the ancient predecessor to the WIAC).

EDIT: I can't count. 16 SEASONS.
The 16
  1. 1937 (6-0-1, tie was against NIU)
  2. 1950 (6-0 - strictly against other State Teacher's College schools)
  3. 1960 (7-0-1, tie was against St. Norbert)
  4. 1966 (10-1, lost NAIA Champion Bowl)
  5. 1990 (10-1, lost first round of NCAA D3 playoffs)
  6. 1997 (9-1, lost in 1st round of D3 playoffs)
  7. 2005 (14-1, lost Stagg Bowl to Mt. Union)
  8. 2006 (14-1, lost Stagg Bowl to Mt. Union)
  9. 2009 (15-0, won D3 title over Mt. Union)
  10. 2010 (15-0, won D3 title over Mt. Union)
  11. 2011 (15-0, won D3 title over Mt. Union)
  12. 2013 (15-0, won D3 title over Mt. Union)
  13. 2014 (15-0, won D3 title over Mt. Union)
  14. 2016 (12-1, lost in D3 quarterfinals)
  15. 2018 (13-1, lost in D3 semis)
  16. 2021 (10-0, TBD)
The 12 count is undefeated seasons since being eligible for post-season play (excluding this season).

I was a little concerned when I looked up the score earlier this morning to see how UWW was doing. Central College had scored a last-minute touchdown at the end of the first half to make it 27-21 Warhawks, and the score hadn't changed a few minutes into the third quarter.


And then I checked the final score just now.

UW-Whitewater 51, Central College Iowa 21. 24 unanswered points, and we're in the semis yet again. And our opponent is Mary Hardin-Baylor - who are also 13-0.

The winner goes on to play the winner of Mt. Union (13-0) and North Central (IL, 13-0) in the Stagg Bowl on Dec. 17.

I went to the last Rival Game at NRG stadium between the good guys and SFA. SHSU won again after 11 years of consecutive wins. But there was a bunch of narcissist just a few rows below us that thought they could tell a bunch of Texas football fans how to cheer for football. I kept pointing to the field and saying cheer that way and stop yelling at us. I told everyone around us that the where the main characters in their own story and fuck everyone else's fun.

We were in the lower section of a major stadium. Rich alumni cheering for the "home" team. But these assholes kept screeching at us when and how to cheer for our own team. Several times I pointed at the field and told the to scream that way.

A great game but 3 fuckwads ruined the game for us. During the most important play of the game the woman held up a sign that blocked my view of the play.

I was really hoping Iowa would get blown out today and so far I'm getting my wish. As much as I don't think anything will happen, I hope this spurs the university to fire the offensive coordinator who only has the job because his last name is the same as the head coach's. Since Brian Ferentz took over as offensive coordinator, Iowa has gotten only worse and worse and the play calling has gotten more & more predictable and stale. The whole coaching staff needs to be let go, but it would cost the university upwards of $50 million to do so. Brian right now makes about $900,000 a year to field the WORST football offense in Division 1. You heard that right. Out of 131 teams, Iowa is dead last in offense. Meanwhile the defense is absolutely killing it and are amazing. But they can only be on the field for so long before they start to break down, get tired, and then start to let the score pile up on them.

The whole organization is a cluster fuck right now because th eAD has no spine, the boosters have no will to fire Ferentz, and Kirk Ferentz chooses nepotism over the school again and again.

Any player who bets on their own team to lose or to not score as many points as possible should be immediately suspended or no longer allowed to play. If he'd have bet the over or Iowa to win I'd be a bit more understanding. Granted, he was not the starting kicker and he did not get any playtime during that game so it's a moot point and had no effect on the game, plus he's no longer playing football.

The big problem is that right now the sporting world absolutely glorifies gambling, especially sites like FanDual or DraftKings. And yet they expect these kids to exercise their limited judgement and NOT participate? Ludicrous.

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker accused of sexually harassing rape survivor/activist: report

The Michigan State coach is the subject of a university Title IX investigation.
www.mlive.com www.mlive.com

So, four points on this:
1) It's a serious fucked up situation and of course people are focusing on the wrong things with sports and shit and throwing stones in glass houses when instead we need to be working on this kind of institutional shit or it's just gonna keep happening everywhere.
2) The fact that MSU of all places let him coach at all considering this investigation was going on, after all the Larry Nassar stuff, is unbelievably unacceptable. Now they're gonna *have* to put him on leave if not outright fire him and they won't get the credit of doing the right thing, it's just another edition of a school going "oops, ok you caught us" for backing another obvious scumbag.
3) I'm not coming at this at all from a rivalry thing, and all the smarmy UM fans on social media really don't have a leg to stand on until at the very least the Bo Schembechler statue comes down for his inaction with the reported Dr. Anderson assaults. Hero worship happens everywhere and it's stupid.
4) With all of that said and understood, "Mel Tugger" is objectively funny sorry.

All reporting is that Michigan State didn’t know what he did besides a generic “complaint” until yesterday. Regardless of morals, the school has been aching for an excuse to fire Tucker without having to pay him, so I don’t see why they’d cover for him. It’s already reported that he’s been suspended and will be fired once the investigation has officially concluded.

i understand the sentiment but Texas beating Bama on the road is what gummed everything up. They were gonna fall all over themselves to keep an SEC team in but they couldn't justify putting Bama in over Texas. They actually got "lucky" in a sense that FSU lost their QB because it gave them an excuse to leave them out.

Personally, I think the playoff should always have been 8 teams and then this wouldn't be a problem. That gives you the 5 "power" conference champions plus 3 at large teams to argue about. 4 teams was always too few and 12 is too many.

Of course they ruined that too with all the realignment there are really only 4 power conferences now. Money ruins everything.

That last 4th quarter TD might have been the game. You were a bit optimistic.

My youngest is going to CU Boulder now and is in the marching band and as such I'm going to pay way too much to watch them. I was out getting CU Merch at Target/Dick's and fr Deion Sanders is an egotistical man and he has way too much merch in my local stores.

Oh I would have loved to have gone to college in Boulder.

How much are football tickets out there? Does the band travel with the team? CU should have some cool away games.

Marching band is home games only, unless they go to a Bowl game. They are also performing at a Broncos game.

And I've been paying 200-300 a ticket which isn't great, so we aren't going to all of the games.

Yeah Iowa dropped the ball bigtime. They should have won (and, in fact, the refs had a bad call at the end that gave Iowa State the win, but what are you going to do?). My wife said, "You okay?" My response.: Uh...yeah. Why wouldn't I be? It's a football game, not anything important.

Fuck Sanders and his nepotistic, big-mouthed ass. And I don't even hate Colorado. Frankly, I wish that the call had been reversed and that it would have been a touchdown. Colorado would have had to forfeit since the students tore down the goal posts while the game was still going on.

The A&M vs LSU game turned out the way I wanted it. It’s the only game of the year that our home is a house divided. My wife is a graduate of LSU and I’ve been a supporter of A&M my whole life. Now we’ll focus on our mutual dislike of tu and be really rooting for A&M on Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s see if A&M gets a boost they deserve in the polls this week.

Yep, they blew it. Came out and played like they were facing some no-name small town high school football team and forgot how to play just basic football. Defense forgot that you cannot tackled big mobile quarterbacks around the shoulders by just grabbing with your hands. Played poorly and deserved to lose for it. Now the whole season hinges on the last conference game of the year. tu.

Yeah Deion's done better than I expected. Kinda ironic that I feel like I don't hear anything about them anymore now that they're a generally good team.

To be honest, I always felt that the coverage that Colorado got was partly waiting for the “inevitable” crash and burn.

I hate Deion with a passion. Even when they lose he runs his fucking mouth like they are the champions. He's bombastic and grating and I hope Colorado loses every game until he is sent off in disgrace.

I also find him grating, but it's what he gets paid to do. I do not understand the hype he gets as a coach and the amount of 'Prime' merch that people wear. But I wouldn't wish a whole team to lose because of that.

I can understand your feelings about him, at one time I would have been standing next to you, but this I met him in a real world setting. We were in Plano, Tx for a Sci-Fi themed comic show and our crew went to breakfast together before the last day opened, a Sunday morning. We went to a Denny’s and were seated near him and his family, him, wife, daughter and son, his he son was maybe 2-3 at the time pretty sure that was before Shadur was born. They’re having a quiet time eating, being a family and we recognized him by left them alone, it was the right thing to do. The way hole family was dressed to the nines in a heir church clothes, except the little boy, he was in an oversized white t-shirt, which having known kids and been that age myself seemed like a good idea is a place that has syrup. We all go on with breakfast and they finish and start getting up to leave, and the boy makes a run for it toward the front. Deion just stood there with that little shake of the head that all parent everywhere have made. He waited, son peeked back around the end of the booths and Deion just motioned for the kid to come back. He did. Deion reached down and pulled the shirt off the kid who was wearing a very nice silk kids suit underneath. We nodded to them as they were leaving, but didn’t interrupt their morning. Deion stopped at our table and tanked us for letting them have their morning together and asked if we needed anything, we told him no and he went on his way. Just a very polite and obviously not “on for the public” moment that we had with him.

The university obviously likes him enough to let him run his mouth and do the whole dog & pony show he's turned it into. So yeah, the whole team should suffer. Just like Iowa where the coaches suck and never do anything even remotely innovative but the school still gives the coach a huge amount of TAXPAYER MONEY through federal grants that fuel public universities. SCHOOLS that allow shit like this should suffer and if the suffering is nothing more than losing a few football games, so be it.
